Jaime Maussan (born c. 1953, Mexico City) is a Mexican journalist, television producer, and UFO researcher who for several decades has been the most prominent Spanish-language presenter of UFO and paranormal claims in Latin America. He studied radio, television, and journalism at the UNAM and the University of Miami in Ohio. From 1970 he worked as a journalist and was for seventeen years a reporter and eventually director of the program 60 Minutos on Televisa, the leading investigative news program in Mexico. Since 1997 he has been the director and producer of Tercer Milenio, a UFO and paranormal investigation program broadcast nationally on Televisa's Canal 9 in Mexico.
Career
Maussan entered UFO research in 1991 when, during a solar eclipse, Mexican residents who went outdoors to film the event accidentally captured UAP footage. Maussan presented the videos on air and requested further submissions; hundreds arrived, a small proportion of which he considered genuinely anomalous. He subsequently spoke at UFO conferences across Europe, the United States, and Latin America, maintaining an unbroken presence in broadcast journalism for over 46 years.
Investigations
- Conducted an independent investigation of the Jonathan Reed forest incident, dispatching an associate to Seattle and collecting soil samples that reportedly showed elevated radioactivity; later distanced himself from Reed after concluding Reed had made false statements on specific points
- Presented the Nazca mummies at a September 2023 Mexican Congressional hearing on UAPs, testifying under oath that DNA analysis showed the specimens to contain over 30% non-human DNA. Dr. Steven Greer stated on the Danny Jones Podcast that the mummies "were actually from Peru and from a cave" and that while they were "handled in a poor way," he believes "the actual mummies are legitimate, very old, thousands of years old, non-human species" requiring proper ancient DNA analysis, forensic dissection, and isotopic metal analysis to definitively establish their origin.
Buga sphere
In 2025, Steven Greer traveled with a member of the United States Congress to Mexico City, where Maussan had brought a spherical object recovered near the town of Buga, Colombia. According to Greer, the sphere initially weighed approximately two kilograms when it landed after striking a high-voltage power line, but over the course of roughly a month its mass stabilized at 10.1 kilograms — a more than fivefold increase that Greer attributed to the dissipation of its anti-gravity field allowing the object's atoms to regain normal mass in Earth's gravitational field. The sphere bore hieroglyphic-like inscriptions on its exterior and contained hair-like fiber optics embedded in a polymer around its equator, with 31 four-millimeter holes — two of which CT scans showed communicating to the interior. Greer reported that the night before his departure from Mexico City, armed individuals — one later identified as a member of the Mexican Federal Police linked to a narco-terrorist unit — attempted to steal the sphere from its vault.
